BISMARCK IMPUDENT.
The TTnr Cloud Which Has so Suddenly
Lo"med Up Said to De Directly Tracea-

BILE to His Utterances to the Czar--Im-
minence of War Becoming More Appar-
ept---General Foreign News---An At
tempt on the Czar's life.
LONDON, Dec. 21.-The war scare,
which has SO suddenly loomed up in to
such ominous portent, is said in political
circles here to have been the direct
sequence Of the late amicable interview
between the czar and the Emperor
William. The czar in his conver-
sation with the emperor, it is re-
ported, offered to send to the German
court certain documents proving Bis
marck's duplicity. Bismarck retorted
that the documents referred to by the
czar were impudent forgeries. The car
pretends to be satisfied with the eXpla-
nations which Bismarck has vouchsafed,
but his ministers are not. Meanwhile
the imminence OF war appears to spread
throughout central Europe. The death
of the emperor Of Germany, of the crown
prince or of Bismarck, it is believed here,
would be instantly followed by the Rus
sian occupation of Bulgaria.
